This study looks at how people with early psychosis (within the first 5 years of treatment) talk during conversations. Researchers hope to learn more about speech patterns and brain activity related to psychosis.
This study uses a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to understand brain activity in people with schizophrenia. It may help researchers learn more about the condition and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how language and memory interact in people with psychosis, including those at risk, early psychosis, or schizophrenia, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to understand these connections better, which may help improve care.
This study looks at how people use language (free speech) after a suicidal gesture, idea, or related behavior that affected their life. The researchers use computer-based analysis to understand patterns in speech and thinking, which may help improve support and assessment.
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
This study looks at how people with early psychosis update their beliefs and use speech, using tasks on a laptop or phone. It aims to understand these processes better to improve support.
